Choose one of the questions below to answer. Be sure to use complete sentences, correct capitalization, and punctuation. Respond to one (1) other classmates post.

1. Mr. Dooling, Darrell's gym teacher, believes that sports build strength and confidence. Write a Write Tools Paragraph which shows if you agree or disagree with this claim. Provide clear, specific examples to illustrate your position.

2. Darell dreads going to gym class for a variety of reasons. Write about a particular subject or class at school that you really dislike. Be sure to discuss the various reasons why you don't enjoy that particular subject. At the end of your paragraph, discuss what could be done to improve your opinion of the class.

    1.I think that sports do help you build confidence and strength.I think wrestling and football can really help you get stronger.Track and cross country help build your endurance and your speed.Basketball and baseball can help with hand-eye coordination.If you do play sports and you win then that can give you a confidence boost .

    1. Yes I do agree that playing sports can build confidence and strength. Track and Field and build up your speed. Baseball can build up your accuracy with hitting the ball. Football can build up your strength. So many sports that we play can help us build up confidence and strength, etc.

    2. One class I don't like is Math class. Reasons on why I don't like math class is because everything is confusing. Last year in my 7th grade class everything was so easy but this year everything has kinda died down. Sure I learned a lot last year but this year has new things, new thing that are difficult. Some things I can improve on working is going to tutoring more often, study (if I have the time), and ask questions when needed.

    3. It was back in 6th grade I had lied to my parents about getting a new book that I wanted, when really it was an overdue book. I told my mom there was a book that wanted and I needed money to pay for it. So the day came and I paid my overdue book but once I got inside my car, my mom asked for the book I got, that's when I knew that everything was about to go down hill. Once we got at home I told her the truth about my overdue book and she got mad and told my dad. If I had to do the right thing back in 6th grade I would of just told my mom the truth and at least she would just be kinda mad at me.

    i believe that sports does build strength and confidence because in football it helps you with your strength in basketball it improves your team work skills in cross country it helps you with your endurance so sports help you out allot in the long run.

    3) I lied to my mom that it was fine that she bought something for my brother and sister and didn't buy one for me. Yes it was the right thing to do because she didn't have to feel bad about me.
